TwoWay DataBinding to property having private set

Is it possible to make TwoWay DataBinding to property having private
set

Below is the code of BindingObject class that has property Name whose
Get is public but Set is private but there is one Public method in
this class SetProperty which can be called to set value of Name
property.
So my requirement is to make TwoWay DataBinding with this property. Is
there any workaround that binding can call SetProperty rather calling
Set of Name property

//Business Object Code
public class BindingObject : INotifyPropertyChanged
{
string name;

public BindingObject()
{
this.name = "WPF";
}

public string Name
{
get
{
return this.name;
}
private set
{
this.name = value;
if (PropertyChanged!=null)
{
PropertyChanged(this, new
PropertyChangedEventArgs("Name"));
}
}
}

public void SetProperty(string value)
{
this.name = value;
}
}

//GUI Code
InitializeGUI()
{
TextBox textBox = new TextBox();
Binding binding = new Binding("Name");
binding.Source = new BindingObject();
binding.Mode = BindingMode.TwoWay;
textBox.SetBinding(TextBox.TextProperty, binding);//throws
exception as Name property has private set
}

Since you have a private 'set', every attempt to set the variable will
fail, wetherver your are using databinding or not.
I think the only way you can databind an object with private set
accessor is using oneway databinding (from the BindingObject to the
TextBox.Text) since there is no way for the TextBox to set the Name
property.

there is one public method SetProperty() which can be used to set Name
property. So is there any way that .Net make call to this function
rather then set of Name property

more than one parameter to set that value, otherwise there would be no

as I know, rely on a simple get/set with a single parameter.

Before TwoWay DataBindings is established each side of the binding
(dependency property) is checked to be writeable and so having a setter. This
means that an exception will be raised in your case and no binding will be
established. And this is fair enough.
If you are intrested in binding to readonly property than you should move on
to OneWay binding that perfectly suites your schema.
